Hello to all my dear readers! It's me, Super Heart Lollipop! I had to move to another account as Strawberry-kun had announced on the reviews for Itazura na Kiss that we can no longer have access to my old account but guess what, I came back to continue and redo all my stories on this new account!

If you were my old friends or fans, please don't hesitate to talk or message me because I've missed all of you!

Anyway I hope you all enjoy this new remake! I was quite embarrassed that I used to publish such horrible grammars and spelling mistakes back then. But if there are mistakes in this chapter, please don't hesitate to tell me! I want to become better at writing!

Thank you again and please enjoy reading the new version!

Disclaimer: I don't owe any cast from Shugo Chara! But some characters do belong to me!

It was finally the day. The day where Amu was confident enough to confess her true feelings to the person she had been in love with in such a long time… Tsukiyomi Ikuto.

She was rather too excited about her feelings for him though. Amu walked towards Ikuto's class and called out to Ikuto's classmates that were closer to the door. "Excuse me." She politely called out to them. The girls looked at Amu and walked over to her. She explained to them that after school, a girl would be waiting for Ikuto at the schoolyard. The girls didn't quite get it but nodded their heads.

When they accepted it, Amu could feel her heart beat. It thumped. Amu smiled at them and said thanks before leaving.

It was time.

She could already imagine it. The both of them together at their wedding… all of their relatives would be there celebrating. Amu would be in the most beautiful wedding dress with Ikuto looking handsome in his suit. And after their wedding, they would get a big house on a hill and have so many children together… two kids would be enough though.

Maybe... A boy and a girl would be nice. One that looks like Ikuto and one that would look just like her.

'I can't wait.' She thinks to herself happily. Amu walked back in class right before the bell rang. She sat down on her seat and sighed to herself happily. She was busy day-dreaming that all of her lessons went by in a blink of an eye.

"Amu… Amu-chan!"

Amu jolted after hearing her name called and realizes her two close friends; Rima and Yaya were staring at her. "You OK Amu-chi? You've been staring at the wall for a while now." Amu smiled embarrassingly but said, "No. I'm fine."

Rima looked at her closely, "Why are you so happy anyway Amu?" Amu blushed and wasn't sure if she was suppose to say this but she did anyway.

"I'm… I've decided to tell my feelings to Ikuto today."

Rima and Yaya looked surprised. "Really?! Amu-chi! I'm so happy for you! Good luck OK? Tell us the news right after you confess!" Yaya said, encouraging her. Rima smiled sweetly and said, "Do your best." Amu was really thankful that she has the sweetest friends in the world. She smiled at them, "I'll do my best!"

Finally, it was after school. Amu waited and waited patiently for Ikuto to come. Even if he didn't come, maybe that's OK. She can wait for this day again… if it'd take her the whole high school life, she didn't have to care. She only wants to tell Ikuto about her true feelings.

Amu was sitting under a tree, looking around to see if she can see him… and then…

'Ikuto… He… He actually came!'

Ikuto was waiting at the schoolyard, though he looked a bit inpatient. His hands in his pocket and he kept tapping his feet furiously. Amu took a deep breath and exhales.

'OK Amu. You can do this. It's OK. Just go.'

She slowly walked up to him and Ikuto finally sees her. He had his body turned to her. Amu was now right in front of him. She looked up and saw his blue eyes staring at her. She blushed and looks away. She was about to smile, but she has to be serious.

"You."

"Huh?" Amu looks up and sees Ikuto staring at her, a bit scary looking though.

"Were you the one who told me to meet you here after school."

Amu was embarrassed but she nodded. "Yes." She answers.

"Well, what do you want to tell me?" Ikuto asked.

Amu could feel her heart beating fast as if it's about to fall out from her chest but she couldn't just kept quiet. It was time… It was time!

"Ik..Ikuto… I really like you. Pl-please go out with me!" She finally got it out. Amu felt happy about herself.

But the reaction Ikuto gave her… wasn't what she expected.

"What? You… You like me?" Ikuto's face turned paled and he gave a revolting look as if he was disgusted. "Don't be ridiculous. I don't like ugly girls like you." Ikuto said.

'What?'

Amu wasn't sure what to say. She was upset and confused.

"There's no way I'm letting you become my girlfriend. You wasted my time. I'm leaving." Ikuto turned away from her and Amu could feel her heart broke. She wanted to cry but nothing came out from her eyes. She was too shocked that she wasn't sure what had happened.

Amu walked, her face blanked and had no expression at all. Finally she realizes that she was standing at her home doorstep. She looks behind her and realizes that she's walked all the way back home. "When did I get here…?" But suddenly she was feeling something running down from her eyes. She tries to wipe it off and finds that it's watery and salty. 'Ah. My tears.' She was crying. It was hurtful… She could remember every single word Ikuto has told her.

"There's no way I'm letting you become my girlfriend. You wasted my time."

"I don't like ugly girls like you."

"I'm leaving."

Amu started crying and she tried to wipe her tears before entering the house. She'd understand if he didn't like her... but did he have to be that harsh to her? She was afraid that her brother was at home and he'd ask her questions about what happened at school today if he ever saw her crying. He'd asked who'd bullied her… and if she told him, he'd go out and find the people who bullied his precious little sister and deal with them good.

But Amu didn't want that… and it's because Ikuto was the one who broke her heart. She didn't want her brother to get angry over Ikuto. She wanted this to stop. She couldn't even control herself properly. It was as if she's letting her tears go out more and more.

The door opens suddenly and Amu gasped. She looked up and saw her brother. His honey-coated eye shined and his dark pink hair was covering one of his eyes. He looked confused and shocked. "Amu?" He asks. She tried to look away, but he quickly took her inside the house and hugged her. She knew it would happen like this. Amu started sobbing on her brother's shirt while her brother stroked her short pink hair.

Gently and kindly he asks her, "What happened at school today sis? Can you tell me who did this to you?" It sounded like if she told him everything, he would listen to her and give her nice advice to forget about Ikuto like every normal sibling would do. But no… he's actually asking who did this to Amu and if he finds that guy, oh boy would that guy have to pray it wasn't him.

Amu though shook her head. "Nothing happened." She sobbed. "Nothing." Her brother, of course didn't buy it but he sighed and kissed her forehead. "You can always tell me you know." He said. Amu looks up to see her brother's worried, anxious face. She smiled. "Thank you, but I'm just… I'm just worried about something."

She couldn't tell him.

After dinner, Amu went up to her room and curled up in a ball on top of her bed, covering herself with her blanket. She sighed and felt like crying again but she didn't. Amu needs to be strong.

"So what if I'm ugly. I guess I don't really mind. I may be ugly, but I'm not ashamed of it." Amu is already feeling good. She shouldn't feel bad.

Amu thought she should at least have a good night rest and finally she closed her eyes and went to sleep.

…

"Amu… Amu!"

Amu woke up and sees her brother waking her up. It's only 12… What does he want? She groaned and tried to cover herself with her blanket but her brother shouted at her, "Amu get up! There's no time to be sleeping! You'll be dead if you do! We need to get out of here!" Amu was confused but before she could say to her brother that she knew he was joking, her brother lifted her up and quickly carried her down the stairs. Amu could smell something burning and her sight was foggy that it pains her eyes.

'Is our house on fire?' Was all Amu could think. Her brother quickly opens the front door and quickly rushes out. He gently puts Amu down and Amu regains her strength to actually stand still. Amu was even more confused. "Brother! What's wrong…? What happened to our house?"

Her brother looked a bit mortified but his face was showing that worried look as well. "The house… well… You could say that half of it is on fire."

It wasn't the time to be joking!

Amu wasn't sure if he was lying, but he wasn't laughing. "But! All my stuff! It's in-." Before she could finish, the fire brigade had arrived. Amu stood close to her brother. The firemen quickly got out of the trucks and took hold of the hoses. They got into the house and took out the fire.

After the big commotion, most of Amu's neighbours were surrounding both Amu and her brother. Amu looks at her house that was fully damaged from the fire and felt like her heart had just been dropped once again.

'Is this what I deserve?'

The fire brigade and the men have left after discussing things with Amu's brother, but the neighbours were still with them, offering Amu and her brother a place where they could stay. Amu's brother though, refuses and thanked for all the offers. He told Amu, "I just called a close friend of mine with my cell-phone. He's offering us to stay at his home since it's big and he pretty much owes me." Amu understood and nodded.

"He's coming to pick us up soon so don't worry." He smiled and pats her head. Amu smiled. She was so happy that she had a wonderful brother like him. Even at the worst times, Amu doesn't matter if she doesn't have a house. She can only have her brother and that's all that matters to her.

"By the way. Brother… Who is he?" Amu asked. Her brother smiled. "You've never seen him before. His name is Takashi. He's a close friend of mine from university. He's a very nice guy." Amu smiled.

As they were waiting, Amu looked back at her old home thinking it's useless to go back in there and it's also dangerous since the firemen people have instructed everyone to not go in there. Amu sighed and thinks that today… is the worst day ever in her whole entire life. But it didn't matter. She has her brother and her friends. Her family and friends are important.

Suddenly, a black car appears and approaches towards them. Amu didn't know who it was so she quickly rushed to her brother's side. Her brother chuckled and waved his arm to the black car. "Takashi!" Amu looked over to her brother and then back to the car. The car stopped in front of them and a young man got out from the car.

He was quite handsome and he reminded Amu of someone… His blue eyes glinted as he looked up to see the both of them. He seemed happy to see Amu's brother and gave a warm smile. Amu's brother walked towards the man and started chatting happily. The man then looks over to see Amu. Amu was a bit surprised though. He smiled at her.

"Is this your little sister you were always talking about? She's very cute." Amu blushed. It feels weird of her to feel embarrassed, but coming from a very good-looking man is very quite… nice.

Amu bowed down, "Thank you for letting my brother and I live in your place for a while." Takashi smiled. "It's fine."

Finally Takashi turns at Amu's brother, "Let's go now. It's getting dark." He looks back at Amu. "Amu, you have to sit at the back with my younger brother. Is that alright?"

Amu smiled. She can't say no. Her brother's friend was already giving her a place to stay. It'd be rude of her. "OK." She answers.

'So he has a brother? I wonder if he's good looking as well.' Amu moves towards the car and opens the car door and sees Takashi's younger brother but was shocked. She wanted to take a step back and at least run away.

There at the passengers' seat was Tsukiyomi Ikuto.

Ikuto turns his head from the right and sees her. He showed a very unpleasant look.

"You again?" He said.

Author's note:

Thank you for reading the remake version of my story: Itazura na Kiss! I swear I like the old version better, but Amu didn't seemed like my most favourite character in the old version so I made a lot of alternations and finally, she became the character I will definitely like writing about. Sorry if it's a bit rushed! I didn't know what to do so I tried to make it as simple like the old version, but I don't think I liked how I did this haha.

I changed a lot of things in the story especially the past characters, which are the dads. At first, I decided how a father figure for both Ikuto and Amu would suit best, but when I got into the story a lot more, both Strawberry and Tami-chan quickly read my planning and told me it felt weird having a dad being too creepily clingy of his daughter. ; v ; but when I think about it again, it's true! It's because there were some parts where it would be cuter to have an older brother looking after someone like Amu and being too clingy and over-protective. I really like a brother having a sister complex more than a father having a daughter complex. In Ikuto's case, his older brother might tease him and flirt with Amu a lot (to make Ikuto jealous) and I would love to write something like that. So I changed it and made Amu and Ikuto having older brothers XD; (but Tadase is still in this story! So Ikuto's brother isn't the only love rival haha!)

So does Takashi Tsukiyomi fit? XD*hit* (and yes, Yoru is still in this story, don't worry.) And I haven't mentioned Amu's brother name in this chapter is because I couldn't think of one. Can anyone of you give me names for Amu's brother please? I'd appreciate it!

Thank you again for reading. I should spread the news to some of my old readers that I moved accounts but I don't know how to… TT v TT;
